40% Glass-Filled Resin However, Avient has overcome this challenge and achieved vibrant colors like any other resin. Scratch and mar performance is average but not as good as some engineered nylon 6 or 66 resins.

Rigid thermoplastics include both commodity thermoplastics and engineering thermoplastics, such as polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), high impact polystyrene (HIPS), polycarbonate (PC), acrynitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO), polyamide (PA), PC/ABS blend and PPO/PS blend etc..

Some common manufacturing options are pultrusion, resin injection, resin transfer molding (RTM) and filament winding. In the most basic sense, a fiber is combined with resin. Ballistic panels are made from multiple layers of woven fiberglass, then encapsulated with a resin system.

The first, Gravi-Tech™ REC Recycled Formulations, is based on recycled resin and/or filler from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources. The second, Gravi-Tech™ BIO Bio-based Formulations, contains bio-based resin from renewable plant sources. Formulated using engineered thermoplastic resins and select metallic fillers, they offer densities similar to traditional metals while providing design and processing flexibility.

Re-using post-industrial or post-consumer polyester regrind has typically been limited due to the adverse effects of heat and moisture on the virgin resin. Cesa Extend Additives utilize an oligomeric reactant to repair the damage and restore the resin’s Intrinsic Viscosity (IV). Processors can then use higher proportions of recycled resin while maintaining the same processing properties as virgin PET.

ThermoBallistic thermoplastic panels are thermally formed with e-glass and thermoplastic resin systems, offering a cost-competitive alternative to ballistic-resistant materials made with other fibers or thermoset resins. GlasArmor thermoset panels are constructed from layers of woven e-glass fiber reinforcements with a proprietary resin system. For example, incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin into composite materials such as unidirectional tape can help reduce the carbon footprint of those composites.
